The Witch's house,
painted by Vaughn Patterson, spins around and opens up to reveal
the gingerbread house, below. The panels left and right spin
around to become the "scary woods". The doors to
Hansel's cage open "by magic". All of these units are
framed birch ply with some masonite detailing. The Gingerbread House, charge
painter Louise Hunnicut, is the open side of the witch's house.
When we originally built this show for Theatreworks we did two
complete sets simultaneously. It was quite a sight to see Louise
standing between the two gingerbread houses painting back and
forth.

This miniature of the
gingerbread house was carved out of blue foam by Gideon Kendall.

Tony
built these props. The cleaver is all wood, the sling shot is
wood and leather and the book is wood and leather with brass
detailing.
